\nFor the past one year, as the president of Islamabad Chamber, I have put this demand on every forum. The business community of the federal capital strongly supports this proposal.

\nThe former president\u2019s proposal to give the most important ministries related to the economy to people associated with the business community is also a step towards solving economic problems.

On Saturday, In his reaction to former President Asif Ali Zardari\u2019s address to the business community in Lahore, he said that the lack of long-term planning and lack of continuity of policies is the main reason for the economic problems that Pakistan is facing today.
\nThe former president offered the business community that he is ready to strike a deal with all political parties on the issue of economy, which is very welcome.
\nThe People\u2019s Party is the largest political party in Pakistan and the second largest party in the current coalition government. The offer made by the former president should be taken seriously by other political parties including PML-N, PTI. Grand National Dialogue on the issue of economy needs time.

He said that the former president suggested that the ministries related to the economy, including the Ministry of Finance, Textiles, Commerce and others, should be given to businesspeople. In fact, this proposal is a viable step towards solving economic problems.

\nHe said that Balochistan has been suffering from unrest for a long time. In his address, the former president suggested cotton cultivation in Jhal Magsi. With the implementation of this proposal, while on the one hand Pakistan will be able to get quality production of cotton, it will also provide a strong foundation for preventing terrorism and insurgency in Balochistan.
